In an era where ensuring the seamless transition of military personnel into civilian careers is increasingly prioritized, the Ohio Department of Public Safety has facilitated a critical bridge for service members aspiring to enter commercial driving sectors. The Commercial Driver License (CDL) skills test waiver form, identified as the CDL Ohio 2070 form, represents a significant dispensation for eligible service members. This form enables those who have recently operated military motor vehicles, which parallel the complexities and responsibilities of Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs), to bypass the rigorous skills testing typically required for obtaining a CDL. The conditions stipulated within the form elucidate a straightforward yet thorough process, highlighting its applicability to service members both current and former, provided their military driving roles were undertaken within 90 days preceding the application. However, it's crucial to note the steadfast requirement for candidates to undergo the CDL knowledge test, underscoring a commitment to foundational road safety and regulatory awareness. Furthermore, the waiver form draws a clear line on the non-transferability of School Bus (S) and/or Passenger (P) endorsements, maintaining a focused eligibility criterion. Detailed within the application are sections demanding accurate self-disclosure regarding past driving records, emphasizing the importance of integrity and accountability in potential commercial drivers. This comprehensive waiver, therefore, not only honors the valuable skills gained through military service but also ensures these skills are seamlessly, responsibly, and effectively transitioned into civilian capacities.

APPLICATION FOR SKILLS TEST WAIVER
MILITARY EXCEPTION
The Commercial Driver License (CDL) skills test waiver form may be used by service members who are currently licensed and who are or were employed within the last 90 days in a military position requiring the operation of a military motor vehicle equivalent to a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV). This waiver allows a qualified service member to apply for a CDL without skills testing. CDL knowledge (written) test(s) cannot be waived. The transfer of School Bus (S) and / or Passenger (P)
endorsements under this Waiver Program are prohibited.
